  • Beckett Flynn: how would you like me to atone? by Sophie Dushko

    Sophie's really staring down the barrel of human sexuality in her work. A perfect antidote to some of the over-intellectualization you can find in theatre. Fantastic play.

  • Beckett Flynn: galatea 2.0 by Sophie Dushko

    Was lucky enough to see this in person. Punch-you-in-the-face type of theatre. Something that should be seen. How many plays do you know start with a man pulling a woman out of a box? Equal parts horny, fun, and angry. Galatea's monologue is one of my favorite pieces of writing I've encountered on this site and can stand on it's own. Go see it while it's still at BK Arthaus!

    A hilarious, touching, wholesome play about kink. The script is able to keep the stakes high without ramping into melodrama. The characters are fantastic, and in particular Brittany is one I'll never forget and hope to see come to life in a full production!

    A fantastic play that stretches what can be done with pace/cast size! Both a fun and enlightening read a formal experiment.

  • Beckett Flynn: Blank Slate by Maximillian Gill
    “

    A staggering piece of genre-theater. Both a sci-fi thriller and a scathing look at contemporary politics — Max Gil fights white supremacy by slowly ratcheting up the tension and revealing his world. Rarely is an intelligent piece of work this nail-biting and page-turning. Fantastic.

  • Beckett Flynn: Carroll County Fix by Val Dunn

    I was lucky enough to see and not just read this play. Like a hometown-hangout movie a-la Clerks or Slacker shot-through with politics, queerness, heartbreak and concern. Me and my partner still use the term "Stinky Pete" to refer to a certain type of townie that we all know and recognize. When a character can stick with you like that... well... I don't know what higher compliment I can give. Read this play.

  • Beckett Flynn: So Panic by Cassidy Byron
    “

    What a gorgeous, delicate, heart-ripping play. A work of extreme power. So Panic sneaks up on you, not with an over-blown plot or exaggerated characters, but with it's attention to nuance and extreme depth of feeling. Kit's mental illness is almost frighteningly real. A play that's difficult to get through for sure, but absolutely worth it if you can.

  • Beckett Flynn: Untitled Babysitting Play by Emma Horwitz

    A chilling puzzlebox of a play. Horror — but in the slow-burn "what the fuck" sort of way of John by Annie Baker or "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" by Charlie Kaufman. Deserves a production that's as creepy as it.

  • Beckett Flynn: SWAY by SMJ .

    Fantastic! Don't let it's internet clothing fool you, SWAY is a thinly veiled dark 70's sex-thriller. Fantastic, terrifying, hilarious, bloody and creepy as hell — SWAY is what theatre is all about.
